Trey Sermon, who had 17 carries for 62 yards, had a 10-yard touchdown reception. Sooners running back Jordan Smallwood also had a three-yard rushing touchdown.

Freshman J.K. Dobbins had 13 carries for 72 yards. He also had a six-yard rushing touchdown.

K.J. Hill also had five receptions for 44 yards. Ohio State kicker Sean Nuernberger also made three field goals.
